A quick survey conducted by MetroPets to determine if Filipinos trust and like their veterinarians came back with a hugely favorable result for those who practice veterinary medicine.

VETERINARIANS APPEAR TO BE WELL-LIKED BY PET OWNERS IN METRO MANILA, A SURVEY SHOWS.

Conducted last October 23 during a Halloween-themed gathering of pet lovers at SM Mall of Asia, the survey simply asked respondents if they like and trust their current veterinarian. The question was answerable by yes or no. Of the 118 respondents, only three claimed to be not so happy with their regular animal doctors.

The overwhelmingly positive result flies in the face of occasional disturbing accounts of bad medical care or service allegedly committed in pet clinics or hospitals, usually told by bereft pet owners. The survey, however, is far from conclusive given the small number of respondents who also didn't substantiate their answers.

Offhand, the survey gives an insight to the general state of relationship between pet owners and veterinarians, at least in Metro Manila where most respondents reside. – MetroPets
